first i wanted to say its a priviledge to be on this forum second- i have an interesting question- while i do not have enough money at this time to get a good camera to take lightning pictures for the moment i have a sanyo hd camcorder to take videos- now on february 26th i was making a lightning video and i uploaded the video to my computer and downloaded some software to where i can take still frames from the video to make pictures out of- my problem is some of them didn't turn out and some of them did- i'll post a few that did turn out and i'll post a few that did turn out

heres a few that did

nows heres a few that did not turn out

note on the last one half the frame is messed up- how can i prevent that? now these were all from the same video- that i am not sure why some didnt turn out and some did- i had it on nightshot instead of regualar i mean i am not sure if that would be why or not? any suggestions?

Took a couple amateur shots the other day. That storm was in the distance and moving toward us... and then it dissipates. darn. Sigh. Anyway got a couple today before the battery died. Taken in Ballston Spa, Upstate New York.
